Great post Mike, thank you. I'm truly sorry for what you endured in your childhood, I think you missed out on something very scary, very painful, very expensive, incredibly risky and worth more than anything else the world can offer. I am a poor father to my 5 children, but I was much better than my father who at one point told me he wished I'd never been born (due to my conversion to Christianity), but he was much better than his WWI vet father and domineering mother. My children are doing wildly better than I did with their children largely due to my wife who is an angel masquerading as a woman.
